I like Fiji Water, too, but after reading this, I'm not so sure I'll continue. L.A. business tries to make Fiji Water a star

... or DON'T drink. As the case may be.

Take it from someone who knows!

I'm half-joking here. I've seen a few myself, including Maynard and Don Ellis in the 70's, Gerald Wilson's band just last Fall and even THIS one a couple of years ago. I really have no trouble with "loud". But there is something strident (I can't think of another word, right now) about the sound of this band on CD as well as the records from the 70's. It may be the frontal assault by the trumpet section. It's not a problem, just an observation.

One listen-through. It's very LOUD!

Interesting re-creation of "Meet the Beatles".

Amazing! I had no idea there was ANY footage of Buckley available. Fantastic.

Got an email from CD Universe that "With Love" shipped today. YooooooHoooooo!

Trane at the VV, disk #3

From what I remember, this was not a bad album, despite all the jokes about the cover.

Blue Mitchell - disk #1

Hey, SS1, I usually try to budget myself so that I can be sure to have some available for impulse "buy".

Pre-ordered this from CDU. Should be smooooookin'.

Byrd/Adams. Really an underrated set. Very enjoyable.

The major stock markets are closed on Tuesday, too. This is much more rare than the USPS I would think. It's very unusual for the markets to be closed more than 3 straight days.

I think you nailed it. To be that loaded and not quite 28 and live in SF. He might even be able to afford a place of his own now. At least a 1200 square footer if nothing else. I'll rent him my garage.

Not to worry, Noj. Dodgers got Schmidt. A better team overall, too. I like Zito crossing the bay, though.

I had "Fearless" when it came out, too. I like it a lot at the time, but eventually traded it in for some reason. These albums have recently shown up on eMusic. I DL-d "Fearless" and found that I still like it and have heard lots of stuff that totally went over my head the first time around. John Wetton contributed to this album, as well. "Bandstand" is in my 'Save for later' qeue.

This is a very interesting and well-organized collection. Worth picking up. Not sure if it's still in print, but either way, probably not getting a premium price second-hand.

Cover sux. But that's OK.....I'll be getting this one "post haste" when it's released.

This has to be #1.

Bunch of new BNs. Hutcherson Byrd Morgan Mobley Silver Hubbard Dorham Check it out.

You should be in and outta there in 1/2 a day. Don't forget to "ice"! Good luck ...
